"Adam was EXTREMELY professional. He was right on time, very knowledgeable and a gentleman. Adam provided requested quotation and insurance documentation right away. His work included cutting and installing new backer board and waterproofing membrane, tile setting, grout and caulking; all this in tandem with plumbers repiping work. The price was very fair and my shower/bath tile job looks great! I would rehire A.K. Tile in an instant."

"We are not done with the work yet, but Derek showed up as promised, gave us a competitive bid and shared substantial expertise even before we have been able to move ahead with the install itself. Helped us get materials ordered at a discount too. Project delayed due to external circumstances (Covid) but hope to resume work soon."

"We first hired Mark to tile our fireplace. We were so impressed with his work that we hired him to tile our kitchen and it looks amazing! Mark is a professional and itâ s clear heâ s been doing this for a long time. He is very precise. He uses techniques that produce an even, clean and crisp look every time. The cherry on top is that Mark is a good and honest dude, heâ s easy to work with, and his prices are fair. If you need a tile guy, look no further than MK Tile & Stone. ~Shout out to Ed Henicle for teaming up with Mark on our kitchen project~"

Backsplash Installation questions, answered by experts

The process takes two to four days, depending on the size of the area and your experience level. The first day involves assessing and prepping the existing tile, while the second day is for laying the new tile. This may take longer in complex areas. After letting the adhesive dry for 24 hours, grouting and sealing can be completed on day three. For larger projects or intricate tile patterns, expect the timeline to stretch a bit longer. Also, proper drying time between steps is essential for long-lasting results, which extends the project’s time.

Tile floor installation usually takes about 16 hours of active work along with a couple of days of drying time between tile and grout applications.

The amount of time it takes your installer will depend on many factors, including the square footage of the space, the tile material type, and if they need to make intricate tile cuts.

Tiles last for around 100 years or more. Tiles on backsplashes can last even longer since they’re less likely to crack under foot traffic or from accidental drops, but even tile in high-traffic flooring can last a century or more with proper installation and upkeep. Porcelain tiles are denser and stronger than standard ceramic tiles, so they’ll last longer, often pushing past the 100-year mark.

No, tiling over painted walls or wallpapered surfaces is generally not recommended. Textured surfaces and paints will affect the adhesive, possibly causing tiles to lift or fall off. Painted walls with a semi-gloss or high-gloss finish are particularly difficult for adding tiles. It’s wise to strip the paint first if you install the tiles to drywall, although it’s still best to opt for a cement backer board.

Yes, unfortunately, it is normal for wall and floor tiles to crack, especially when you drop heavy items on tiled floors or place heavy objects on them. Tiles are also more susceptible to cracking when ceramic tiles designed for walls are installed on floors, as these are often not strong enough to handle heavy loads from foot traffic and furniture. Similarly, tiles that are installed incorrectly, lack adequate subflooring, or have other installation problems are prone to cracking. To avoid these problems and the inevitable repair and replacement costs they bring, always hire a professional for tile work and follow best practices for installation.
